FC Utrecht - FC Volendam predictions

This match is somewhat one-sided, but not the most imbalanced clash we’ve seen. The odds are heavily in the hosts’ favour, who will likely walk away with 3 more points to the tally.

From the present standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of FC Utrecht and the 9.00 odds given to FC Volendam to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be an unexpected upset.

We last saw FC Utrecht play against Excelsior in a hard-fought away game. Eredivisie betting odds were quite optimistic about their chances despite the home-field disadvantage, but neither side managed to convincingly pull ahead for the duration of the match.

The visiting team went into their previous Eredivisie matchup as the clear underdogs, with prices on them winning floating around 2.06. They kept up with their opponents for a good chunk of the match and maintained a draw, but eventually conceded and recorded a 0:1 home loss.

FC Utrecht’s last five Eredivisie appearances all ended with less than two goals on the final tally. With that in mind, an Under 2.5 Goals market might be something to consider.

The last two times we saw FC Volendam at their home field both matches ended with less than 1 goal total. Although they’re the away team this time, online bookmakers are predicting another low-scoring affair.

FC Volendam are in position 17th in the league table. It’s still too early to be overly pessimistic, but they’re in a tough spot. Avoiding relegation is getting harder with each passing round.

This is the second time these two teams will clash as part of the current Eredivisie season. FC Volendam won the first time around, though it was a rather close victory and most bookies are expecting this match to end differently.

A string of injuries put a large chunk of the visitors’ lineup out of contention. They’ll have to make do without Deron Payne, Joey Antonioli, Josh Flint, Darius Johnson, Xavier Mbuyamba. Given that they were already underdogs anyhow, this puts them at a severely disadvantaged position.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 2.25.
